Jumbo Frames are Ethernet frames that are larger than 1500 bytes. They are designed to enhance Ethernet networking throughput, and to reduce CPU usage when transferring large files.
QES uses standard Ethernet frames (1500 bytes) by default and supports the following jumbo frame sizes:
-
4074
-
7418
-
9000
Important:
-
Using jumbo frames requires a network speed of 1000 Mbps or higher.
-
All connected network devices must enable jumbo frames and use the same MTU size.
-
In QES, the selected jumbo frame size applies to the size of the data payload only. It does not include overhead data, such as the Ethernet, VLAN, and IP headers. This means that actual packet size will be larger than the selected value. Ensure that the MTU size on all connected network devices is higher than the selected jumbo frame size.
